Feature Overview
Relay Outputs
Four 3-amp dry contact relay outputs are provided to activate four access
devices, such as door strikes, magnetic locks, automatic doors, barrier gates,
and automatic sliding gates. The relay outputs can also be used for alarm
contact shunting, operator obstacle triggering, and alarm activation. Each of
the four relays can also be manually activated from buttons on the front of the
AM3Plus. LED indicators display the status of each relay.
Request-to-Exit Inputs
Each relay channel has a request-to-exit input. These inputs are supplied for
hardwire activation of the access devices. Typically a request-to-exit input is
wired to a pushbutton inside of the access controlled area. When a person
desires to exit, pressing the pushbutton will activate the output relay channel
and trigger the access device. A loop detector for automatic gate operation
can be connected to a request-to-exit input.
Sensing Inputs
The sensing inputs connect to door switches that monitor whether the
controlled door is open or closed. The sensing inputs may alternately be
programmed as “access inhibit” inputs for use with an external timer or service
switch.
Optional Modem
A modular connector is provided for telephone line connection to the unit’s
optional 33.6K baud modem. The system can be accessed remotely for
programming and control over the standard telephone system using a
personal computer with a modem. For system backup, a computer connected
through the modem can store and retrieve the AM3Plus memory data.
RS-232 Communications Port
A modular connector is provided for the bi-directional 38.4K baud RS-232
port. The AM3Plus RS-232 port connects to a personal computer’s COM port.
System programming can be performed locally with a computer connected to
the RS-232 port.
Obstacle Detection
Linear’s Model MGT safety edge transmitter is compatible with the AM3Plus.
The MGT detects and transmits obstacle events to a remote receiver
connected to the AM3Plus.
Programming Memory
The AM3Plus fl ash memory retains all entry codes, transmitter information,
card access, and programming, even without power.
Battery Backup
The system supports a 12-volt battery backup for operation during power
outage. The system will charge the backup battery when AC power is
present.
Network Support
Multiple AE1000Plus, AE2000Plus, & AM3Plus units can be networked
together via three-wire RS-485 cables or through modems allowing
information sharing between the units. A common event log is retained for all
of the networked units.
Linear PBUS Ports
Two 6-wire Linear PBUS input/output ports are available to connect to
several accessories (keypads, proximity readers, remote receivers). A typical
application for a remote keypad or reader would be to control additional doors
or gates.
